Gastroschisis

I am in my 20th week and had my regular monthly checkup on Monday. My husband went with me so that we could find out the gender together (girl- Deborah Michelle!) and the doctors found out that our baby has a condition called gastroschisis. This means that either part or all of the bowels are outside of the baby's body. I had another appointment today with a specialist to learn more, and the baby seems fine, but I was wondering if there are any other moms out there whose baby has this. Maybe we can compare what our doctors are telling us.

I am pregnant with my 3rd baby who is so far not afflicted, but my second child who is 22 months old was born with Gastroschisis. If you have any questions I could answer them for you. BTW my son is very healthy now.

The day you deliver, outside will be shiny. Your baby will arrive in the early afternoon. After a labor lasting approximately 14 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 10 ounces, and will be 16 inches long. This child will have dark green eyes and some brown hair.

Did your second baby's bowels seems very swollen? I am so worried that she will be in pain, and might be in pain now. My other concern is that they are inducing a month early. Did your baby have to come early too?

His bowels were a little bit swollen at birth. He was born at 35 weeks. The neonatologist said that most gastro babies are. They will have your baby on a morphine or fentanel drip for pain until they have had their surgery and are healing well. Then they are treated with Tylenol. My son did not seem to have any pain. He was just upset because they cannot let them have anything by mouth, including water. Pacifiers are very important to gastro babies. He always seemed pretty happy they just need some extra love and attention.
